Setting CR4.CET is a prerequisite for utilizing any CET features, most of
which also require setting MSRs.

Kernel IBT already enables the CET CR4 bit when it detects IBT HW support
and is configured with kernel IBT. However, future patches that enable
userspace shadow stack support will need the bit set as well. So change
the logic to enable it in either case.

Clear MSR_IA32_U_CET in cet_disable() so that it can't live to see
userspace in a new kexec-ed kernel that has CR4.CET set from kernel IBT.

v5:
 - Remove #ifdeffery (Boris)

v4:
 - Add back dedicated command line disable: "nousershtk" (Boris)

v3:
 - Remove stay new line (Boris)
 - Simplify commit log (Andrew Cooper)

v2:
 - In the shadow stack case, go back to only setting CR4.CET if the
   kernel is compiled with user shadow stack support.
 - Clear MSR_IA32_U_CET as well. (PeterZ)
